TRAVEL AND LEISURE NAMES BIL  A TOP 10 AIRPORT IN THE U.S.

A good airport is one that transforms what could be a stressful experience into a smooth, even enjoyable, part of the travel day. It’s not an easy task—airports are inherently nerve-racking, with everyone in a rush to get from point A to point B. That’s why Travel + Leisure’s 2025 World’s Best Awards are so interesting—it highlights airports that have managed to balance efficiency with comfort, offering streamlined security and intuitive wayfinding along with ample seating, natural light, and quiet zones.

If there is one thing that stands out when describing BIL for those who may not have had the opportunity to visit yet, it is the warm welcome and customer-centered approach that the airport takes pride in.

However, providing a clean, safe, and relaxed atmosphere is only part of the aviation puzzle. What makes this airport so unique and one to watch is its commitment to adding enhanced services, thinking outside the box to enhance economic prospects, and doing so at an airport enviably situated, sitting on approximately 2,500 prime acres surrounded by a beautiful natural backdrop.
